    This right here is why Loma is overhyped.. This is a fight Walters can win, he can drop Loma, and finish him. The kitchen sink? Walters can just fight safe and win a decision. Walters has a strong jab, thats hurts, he can hurt you with his jab and follow up with his other punches.

    For the people picking Loma, how do you actually see him winning this fight? He will have to outwork Walters and get inside on him but it wont happen. Walters will control distance and hurt Loma when he gets desperate. I also believe Walters would KO salido as well.

      I see it being more of a long night for Walters, trying to find a way to use that power. Having power is all well and good, but you need a launcher for the missile also. Loma's defense and movement will give Walters fits. Loma also has a very good chin.

      In any case, there's talk that Walters' next opponent is no pushover so this might all be a moot point! Would be crazy if that happened, haha.
      You know very little about Walters other than his power.

            Walters very dangerous , he can rough up Loma just with the jab, but when he gets him with the hooks and uppercuts im thinkin Loma going to sleep.

              Tough fight but Loma's gonna come out on top. Boxing skills are just on another level.

                No doubt he has better boxing skills but its not happening, you guys act like skills will win out everytime. Walters has size, reach, power, hes more agressive, better chin. Your boy going down no doubt, his face will be rearranged by a hard accurate jab that will connect all night.

                  Loma has better speed too and phenomenal defense, and he certainly has enough power to keep other fighters "honest"... like Floyd who isn't a huge heavy hitter but has enough power to keep those big hitters off him.

                      He WILL outwork Walters no doubt... He will neutralize Walter's jab and reach with incredible foot work and angles. Walter will be searching for that one big shot all night.

                      Walters is a great fighter but he doesn't have Floyd's speed to match his reach. I.E. he won't be able to frustrate Loma the way that Floyd is able to frustrate his opponents.

                      Also, you guys forget that Loma is a very naturally strong dude... watch some of his training videos... doing one arm pull ups, he's got those huge arms... He's a muscular guy... He might not be quite as powerful and heavy handed as Walters but he has power...

                      I believe that both fighters chins will be tested like never before in this fight.
